Got our itinerary for our flight out to SiVi in two weeks, and wouldn’t ya know it… We are flying United…. Yep, that’s right, the airline who’s employees are currently striking…
My roommate, Jon Parise just took off about an hour ago. I didn’t really get to give him a hearty goodbye, because he stopped by during our meeting, but I should be seeing him this weekend.
The garage said that they weren’t sure what was wrong with my car, but that they found a problem with the fan (it was working intermittently). I am taking it to the adirondacks this weekend, so I should know by monday if it is still hosed… Damn car…
“We have a note on our website stating that we do not ship to third party addresses. You would need to call bank, and add it on as an alternate address to your credit card. Or we can ship it to your billing address.”
OK. First of all, you didn’t explain ’third party’ to the layman. I am not shipping it to a third party, I am shipping it to me.
Yeah, so my new harddisk has to go to New Jersey before it reaches Rochester. I hate idiots.
update: I should have made it clear that my bank card does not allow me to add alternate shipping addresses, which is the whole problem. I ended up changing the billing address on the card, which I am just going to have to change again in a week when I move.. grumble.
Worked from home today and actually got some work done. It worked out really well, even if I did get stumped by a problem… I am still in the midst of figuring it out, which sucks, because I feel behind…
Went climbing last night. I have to say, there are many attractive females who climb. This is a Good Thing®. I believe I have chosen a good pasttime.
Today is a super-lazy saturday here in Rochester. It is beautiful out, but I don’t really feel like doing anything. The past few weekends have been really busy, and it is nice to do nothing for a change.
We are going to do burgers, dogs, and sausage on the grill tonight. That will get me out of the house…
Found out I am officially returning to California on business the end of August. This is exciting, because:
I get to go to CA again
I get to spend a week at NASA
Jamba Juice
Apparently we are flying into San Francisco again, which kinda blows, because we are going to Mountain View, which is about as much of a hike as it was last time (to San Jose). I don’t quite know why we didn’t fly into SJC, but I can’t complain, I ain’t paying… :)
This is also awesome, because I am homeless that week; Now I only have to find a place to stash my stuff… :)
Sleep didn’t work well last night, and because of that, I am rather beat this morning. I tweaked the journal’s style a bit yesterday to improve the appearance of the new music/mood metadata that livejournal provides. I am not done working on it, but it doesn’t look so ass anymore.
Yesterday was a hyper-shitty day, some of you know why, others are left in mystery. Luckily, My Roommate, Jon Parise, is visiting to help distract me from all my worldly trouble. He sure is a card. (I always wanted to call someone a ‘card’ :P).
The internet connection was down today; a fiber-optic cut on Genesse Street. Working on XML DTD’s and parsers at work this week, hoping to have it all finished in the next few days, but I keep on revising the DTD, so until that settles down the work on the parser is annoying. :)
